275lbs

B. Seated Strict Press; 10,10,8,8; 60,65,70,75% 5RM
95 - 95 - 105 - 105

2 Rounds @ Easy Effort:
35 Cal Row
35 Cal Bike
35 Cal SKi
2min Rest
Didn't keep track of times, but I held 1050+ cals/hr on the row, 200 watts on the bike, and 950+ cals/hr on the ski

12/22/2022

A. Power Snatch - 1 sec pause @ 1" off floor: 4,3,2,4,3,2; rest as needed - 70,75,78,70,75,78% 1RM Sn
155 - 165 - 175
On the last rep of the last set I caught it and basically did a tempo OHS on the descent portion to make sure I didn't fail the rep

B. Back Squat: Build to 85% 1RM - If feeling beat up/tired/or don't need the high % work, skip the heavy single
315lbs

C. Back Squat: 3 reps x 4-5 sets @ 75-80% 1RM

Even: REST
30 (UB) - 30 (UB) - 30 (20/10) - 25 (15/10) - 22 (10/7/5)
Shoulder fatigue was the biggest issue in preventing me from doing more sets of 30 UB wall balls.

12/16/2022

KOT DRILLS:
A1. Tibalis Raise; 25 reps x 3 sets; rest 30 seconds
A2. FHL Calf Raise; 25 reps x 2 sets; rest 30 seconds
A3. Knee Over Toe Calf Raise; 25 reps x 2 sets; rest 30 seconds
A4. Patrick Step-up; 25 x 2 sets; rest 30 seconds

2 sets:
Row 1K @ 2-4 seconds slower than target 2k Pace
Rest 2 min
Row 750m @ 1-2 seconds slower than target 2k Pace
Rest 2 min
Row 500m @ 1 sec faster than target 2k pace
Rest as needed on Bike Erg @ Low Damper/High RPM Spin until fully recovered
For the first set I based the times off of my goal 1:42/500m 2k pace and I held 1:46/500m, 1:44/500, and 1:42/500m pace respectively. I correctly anticipated my legs being shot after this, and planned to slow my pace for the second set. My plan for the second set was to do 1:50/500m, 1:48/500m, and 1:46/500m. However, I had some serious issues with my abs cramping during the second 1K. I was having issues producing the power necessary to hold that 1:50/500m pace during the last 350m, but my abs cramping made me drastically slow my pace and rest longer than 2min. There was a similar scenario during the 750m row, but I was able to hold my goal pace. After resting more than 2min to ensure I wasn't cramping during my last 500m row, I held a 1:42/500m pace. 

12/15/2022

A. Supinated Grip Barbell Bench Press; 5,5,3,3; rest 2min
165 - 165 - 185 - 185

B. strict pull-ups; AMRAP (-1) with 2 sec hold @top of each rep x 3 sets -rest 2:00
8 - 6 - 4

4min on/2min off for 4 sets:
10 Deadlifts @ 185lbs
10 TTB
10 Power Snatch @ 75lbs
10 Burpees
AMRAP Row Cals in remaining time
I did not rest as needed between sets 2 and 3, I approached this as just 4 sets of 4min on w/ 2min off straight through. I did that specifically for the PS cycling and the burpees. After completing the barbell and bodyweight movements, I had 2min to do the rowing. I accumulated 30 cals rowing on each set, which was about a 1050-1100 cals/hr pace. This kind of thing has historically been a very big problem for me, which is why I want to know about how much time you're expecting for the AMRAP row in this case. I ended up having 2min, which was double the time I expected. So, knowing how much time you're expecting me to have, whether or not there's a significant drop off, is helpful for me to know because I still have no idea how to pace these despite the 6+ years I've been doing this.

Each set took 6:33-6:40. The echo bike continues to be very difficult for me

12/12/2022

A. Snatch: Find a 1RM in 5 attempts - Bar starts loaded, one attempt every 2 minutes
215

B. OHS: Find a 1RM, max of 5 attempts, from a rack in 10 minutes
235, jumped from 235 to 250 and failed that attempt at 250 while transitioning from the bottom of a squat to standing up

The numbers for A and B were nice, but I'm more concerned with cycling these movements than I am 1RMs


4 Sets:
60 sec AMRAP Wall Balls
500m Row @ 30min pace
60 Sec AMRAP Wall Balls
rest 3-4min bw sets
I rowed at a 2:02/500m pace. My initial 30min time trial was at a 2:04/500m pace, so I assumed I had gotten a little faster than that. For the wall balls, I split those into 10/10/5 on every set but the last one. On the last set I did 30 UB. Total wall balls was 205

Sunday, December 11, 2022

12/11/2022

8 sets:
Row 500m @ building effort
Rest 90-120 sec; Start at 5 sec slower than target 2k, and then build to 1-3 sec faster than target 2k pace within the set
**Rest as needed bw sets 4/5
I did all of these with a 1:42/500m 2k pace. During each 500m row, I'd row 200m at a 1:47/500m, 150m at 1:42-1:43/500m, then the last 150m faster than that.

12/9/2022

A. Supinated Grip Barbell Bench Press; 6,6,4,4; rest 2min
165 - 165 - 185 - 185

I still don't care about bench press

B. strict pull-ups; establish a max set unbroken
15

On the 2min for 5 sets:
12 Deadlifts @185lbs
10 CTB Pull-up
+
On the 2min for 5 Sets:
10 Power Snatch @ 75lbs
6-10 TTB 

I've been having a very hard time with this, particularly the C2B and PS and its very frustrating. I immediately reduced the reps of the C2B and PS from the start. I was able to hold 5/5 on the C2B for the first three sets, then I completely fell apart and was barely getting 2-3 at a time, eventually resorting to singles. For the PS/T2B combo, the barbell cycling sucked, but my grip blew up during the first set of T2B and I was barely getting 6-8 per set.

12/7/2022

A. Split Jerks: 3,3,2,2,2; rest 2 min - 60,70,75,78,80% - Working strength/control in rerack, No blocks
185 - 185 - 205 - 215 - 225

B. Seated Strict Press; 10,8,8,8; 60,65,70,75% 5RM
85 - 95 - 95 - 95

On the 3min for 8 sets:
13 Row Cals
10 Bike Cals
13 Ski Cals
Finished 8 sets. I held around 1400 cals/hr on the row, 330+ watts on the bike, and 1100-1200 cals/hr on the ski. The bike is by far the most difficult part, and that makes the ski even harder

Monday, December 5, 2022

12/5/2022

A. For time: 20 snatch @ 77% of 1Rm (any style)
1:56 @ 135lbs - This is about 15lbs lighter than prescribed, even assuming a much lower 1RM, but I'm not feeling confident with cycling snatches

B. Back Squat: Find a 3RM
295lbs - Legs felt weak after the power snatches

C. OHS: AMRAP (-1) @ 85% 1RM - Stop 1 rep before failure or when good form is lost
2 reps and 6 reps - did two sets because the first set felt very good but I started moving too fast during the squats and lost it in front of me

3 Sets of:
21-15-9;
Row Cals
Wall Balls
rest 4-6min bw sets
4:30 - 4:30 - 4:33
Legs did not want to cooperate on the row, and I was holding 1100 cals/hr on each set of row cals. I also misread this and did the wallballs first, but I went unbroken on those, so there's that

12min EMOM:
Odd: 12 Deadlifts @ 185lbs
Even: 10 CTB Pull-ups
Got destroyed by the C2B and had to do 10 starting with the second set. The last two sets I broke into 4/3/3

12min EMOM:
Odd: 8-10 Power Snatch @ 75lbs
Even: 10-12 TTB
Like the C2B, the PS destroyed me. These continue to be a big weakness. I started with sets of 10 for the first three sets, but had to do 8s for the last 3. Grip fatigue was also an issue, but it was primarily the barbell cycling

Monday, November 28, 2022

11/28/2022

2 sets:
Row 1K @ 5 sec per 500m slower than Target 2k Pace
Rest 3 min
Row 1K @ 3 sec per 500m slower than Target 2k Pace
Rest 6-8 min on Bike Erg @ Low Damper/High RPM Spin
Goal paces were 1:47/500m and 1:45/500m respectively. I held those for the first set and the first 1k of the second set, finishing the last 1k at a 1:52/500. I physically cannot hold the paces you're prescribing for an entire rowing session and I'm getting more and more concerned about that. I think I could've held 1:47/500 for all sets, but I'm having a hard time with paces closer to my goal pace for extended periods for time. This 2k is not something I'm expecting to test for several months, but I'm already concerned with how the progressions are going

210 Single Unders
21 Thrusters (95/65)
150 Speed Steps (count only on 1 foot)
15 Thrusters
90 Double Unders
9 Thrusters

I didn't have any issues with the single unders or dubs, but I messed up a lot on the speed steps. The thrusters went much better than I anticipated and I should've pushed those more.

held 1100 cals/hr on the row, 300 watts on the bike, and 1100 cals/hr on the ski. The bike was the most difficult part, but it's also 75 watts higher than my goal pace

Wednesday, November 23, 2022

11/23/2022

A. Snatch Pull + Squat Snatch: 3,2,1; rest 2 min - 82-86% 1RM, quick drop/reset b/t sn pull & sn, rest 10 sec b/t reps - build each set, last set heaviest
125 - 145 - 165

B. Snatch: 3 singles @ 85-90% 1RM; rest as needed b/t each
175 - 185 - 195 (failed two attempts)

Snatches just felt slow and weird today. My first attempt at 195 I just didn't commit to the pull from the ground and the bar ended up in front of me. The second attempt I put too much power into it and it looped up and around. 

C. EMOM x 10: 2-3 Box Squat @ 65-70% - sit to parallel, vertical shin, sit to box w/ control, focus on speed/hip drive

I wasn't feeling too hot when I got to the gym for some reason, and the power snatches were the hardest part. I switched the row to a rest period because I was rowing so slow.

On the 3min for 8 sets:
11 Row Cals

11 Ski Cals
8 Sets due to time constraints. Each set took about 1:53-1:57 to complete. I held over 1300 cals/hr on the row, 350 watts on the bike, and 1200 cals/hr on the ski

I did not like this specifically because it was hang squat snatches

C. OHS: AMRAP (-1) @ 80% 1RM - Stop 1 rep before failure or when good form is lost
5 reps 185lbs - I didn't have time to do the back squats and all the other stuff with the time I had, so I skipped the back squats and tried to go heavier on the OHS but that didn't go well. 

For Time:
30 Cal Row
30 Wall Balls @ 30/20lbs

Sets 1-3 took between 4:19-4:23. I held 1100/1200/1250+ cals/hr on the ski, which was by far the most difficult part because my lats would get fatigued very quickly. For the row I held 1200/1300/1400 cals/hr

I did the first round of the first set of pull-ups at the prescribed tempo and unbroken. After that I was unable to do either and switched to regular pull-ups, splitting them up as needed

30min EMOM:
Min 1: 30 Sec AMRAP Row Cals
Min 2 30 Sec AMRAP Bike Cals
Min 3: 30 Sec AMRAP SKi Cals
My quads, glutes, and hips were very sore from yesterday, so I did this at either my goal paces for the Breathe AMRAP or above those goal paces. On the row I held 1100 cals/hr (goal pace), 300 watts on the bike (well above goal pace), and 1100 cals/hr on the ski (above goal pace) for this.

I either got deep into 4 rounds or deep into 5, I don't remember. This was very tough on my grip and both the db box stepovers and devil's press were pretty awkward movements.

16 Cal Row
8 Burpees Over Erg (head facing away from row screen)
7 Rounds + 8 cal row
I paced the row too much, I was holding somewhere in the upper 1100 to low 1200 cals/hr and should have held 1200 cals/hr minimum, pushing close to 1300 for the last couple rounds. I had anticipated the burpees being a much bigger problem than they were, and I figured I'd lose most of my time on those. That, however, was not the case.

12 Thrusters @ 95lbs
9 bar facing burpees
6 Hang Power Snatch @ 95lbs
amrap Wall Balls in remaining time
rest 2:00 b/w sets

This really, really pissed me off. I finished 2 sets as written but should have immediately changed the rep scheme. I cannot execute this with the required intensity, nor can I recover enough in the 2min rest to warrant it being written as is. I decreased the reps for sets 3 and 4 to 10 thrusters, 8 bfb, and 4 hps and the last set was still incredibly difficult. This was a waste of a conditioning piece in my opinion. I've repeatedly asked for stuff like this, particularly with these movements, but absolutely hate it when its programmed in such a way I can't even get through half of it.

I held 1400+ watts for the first 25 cals and then between 950-1050 on the second 25 cals. Total time for each set was between 2:25 for the fastest (last set) and 2:30.4, with sets 1-5 between 2:28-2:30 total time

A. Snatch Pull + Squat Snatch: 3,3,3; rest 2 min - 77-82% 1RM, quick drop/reset b/t sn pull & sn, rest 10 sec b/t reps
40kg - 50kg - 60kg

B. Snatch + OHS: 6 complexes @ 80-85% 1RM; rest 1-2 min b/t each complex
70kg - 75kg - 80kg - 85kg x3

C. EMOM x 10: 2-3 Back Squat @ 60-65% - speed focus
100kg

On the 5min for 4 sets total:
10 Cal Echo
6 DBL DB Power Clean @ 50lbs
10 Burpees
6 DBL DB Snatch @ 50lbs
10 Cal Echo
So I misread this and switched the order of the echo and the dbl db snatch

2:42 - 2:45 - 2:40 - 3:08

I held over 320 watts on the bike the entire workout. The dbl db snatches were awful

B1. DB On Knee External Rotation; 15 reps x 2-3 sets; rest 1min
10lb DBs

B2. Bent Over DB Reverse Fly 15 reps x 2-3 sets; rest 1min
10lb DBs

B3. On Bench DB Y Raise; 15 reps x 2-3 sets; rest 1min
5lb DBs

On the 4min for 4 sets:
12 DB Push Press (35lb)
12 Box Step Ups (one 50lbs DB)
12 TTB
12 Cal Row
Reduced the reps because I was still feeling terrible after the 5k. Each set took between 2:12 and 2:16 to complete. I used two 35lb DBs on the push press to make sure I would go unbroken. I also went UB on the T2B and rowed at a 1200-1300 cal pace

3 Rounds for Time:
14 Thrusters @ 95#
10 Cal Echo
5:06 - 7/7 on the thrusters, 315ish watts on the bike

rest 1min

3 Rounds for Time:
14 Bar Facing Burpee
10 Cal Echo
7:28 - not sure how long the burpees took, held 275/260/320 ish watts for each round

I switched this to Echo cals because I think I pulled my brachioradialis while warming up for the C2B. Total time was 13:34, with the first part completed in 5:06 and the second in 7:28

A3. Knee Over Toe Calf Raise; 25 reps x 3 sets; rest 30 seconds
A4. Patrick Step-up; 25 x 3 sets; rest 30 seconds

4 Rounds for Time:
500m Row
15 Burpees
rest 5min
4 Rounds for Time:
500m Row
15 Burpees
So I initially read this as 5 rounds of each with 4min rest between workouts, and I didn't realize that it was supposed to be 4 rounds until I had finished about half the row into my fifth round. I think I finished the first 4 rounds in about 13min, but I was pacing for a 5 round workout. The burpees for each workout took about 60-66 seconds to complete, with the last round of the last part the fastest at around 45-50 seconds. I held around 1:57/500m for every 500m row

Did 8 sets of this, rested as needed after set 4 and then like 4min after set 7 because I was pretty messed up at that point. The double DB snatches are awful and I hate them

Every 4min for 4 sets:
2:30min Clock:
15 Box Jump Overs @ 24"
50' FRWL @ 50lb DBs
AMRAP Wall Balls in remaining time
After the first set I reduced the box jumpovers to 12 reps because I am incredibly bad and awkward at them. I finished the box jumpovers and lunges with 1:05 left in the set and figured that would get worse as the workout progressed. I got 22, 25, 21, and 20 wall balls, respectively, for the AMRAP portion.

Switched to what I noted because after 1 set I couldn't hold the paces you sent me. I think it was about 8-10 cals for the :45 hard run and double that for the 1:45 run

A. Squat Snatch; 10 singles @your choice loading; rest as needed
165 - 175x4 - 185x5 (did a quick double as part of these 5 reps)
Missed one attempt at 175

B. Front Squat; 6 reps x 3 sets @ 82-85+% 1RM; rest 2-3min bw sets
205lbs

3 Rounds for Time:
50' FRWL @ 50lb
16 CTB Pull-ups
30' HSW
8 Box Step Overs @ 50lbs
13:02 - UB FRWL, 4s on the C2B, UB DB Box stepovers. I finished the first round in 3min then realized I made a grave error and waited like 30 seconds before starting round 2. I probably lost the most amount of time during the C2B, but I think sets of 4 was the way to break it up, and transitioning from the stepovers to the lunges. The HSW was ok, but I need a lot more practice before we're doing 50ft segments in workouts where I'm breathing heavy. Also the stepovers were the worst part

Done

I despise bench press in all its forms

sHSPU - AMRAP. AMRAP x3 sets, 3min rest
5/2 - 5/1 - 4/2

I changed this from the other thing because I think its more worthwhile to do sHSPU/kHSPU, I don't care about the bench press/pushup things, and I generally despise bench press because of how it makes my shoulders feel and that I think it contributed to the shoulder issues I previously had. 

2 sets:
6 unbroken dual DB bent over rows
rest 15 sec
AMRAP (-1) ring rows @ 2020 tempo

12 Strict Banded Pull-ups

12 Banded Pull-ups
-rest 2-3 minutes

3 Rounds for Time:
14 Cal Bike Erg
7 Strict HSPUs
5:04 - Held 350+ watts on an assault bike and spilt the sHSPU into 4/3. I think this was paced pretty well, maybe I could've pushed a little more on the bike but I think going above 400 watts would've made my breathing too hard to control while trying to do a sHSPU

rest 5min

3 Rounds for Time:
10 Power Snatch @ 75/55lbs
10 Kiping HSPUs
4:45 - Did not pace this well. I tried to push the power snatches and go 5/5 on the kHSPU, but that lasted one round, then I switched to 5/5 on the power snatches and completely fell apart on the kHSPU

Every 3min for 10 sets: 500m row at max sustainable pace
I started at 1:54/500m for the first 3 or 4 sets, but the last 5 sets were at 1:51-1:52/500m and I think that's where I should have started the entire session

9/21/2022

A. Squat Snatch; 2 Snatch @ 72%, 2 Snatch @ 82%, 2 singles @ 92% (x2 sets of 92%); rest as needed
This went extremely poorly, just like last week. I used 165lbs, 175lbs, and attempted 185lbs but went 1/6 at 185lbs. 'Go lighter' is both obvious and unhelpful advice. I am extremely frustrated with how this is going and aside from wanting to just start from scratch, I don't want percentages for any of this lifting because I get too tied to the percentages

B. Front Squat; 6 reps x 3 sets @ 80-84% 1RM; rest 2-3min bw sets
I used 185lbs because I was not that engaged with anything after the snatches

For Time:
50 Wall Balls
40 DB Snatch
30 Box Step Ups (1DB)
20 TTB
10 Ring Muscle Ups
17min cap
11:15 - 10s on the WB, DB snatch, and box step ups, UB T2B, 5/5 on the MU; I lost the most time on the db box step ups and between the sets of 5 on the MU. The db box step ups are extremely awkward for me for some reason

*Kick hard on last 1200m of each set (2-3 seconds faster than avg pace)
Held 1:57.9-1:58.2/500m for the first 1200m and 1:52.5-1:52.9/500m for the second 1200m, this is starting to get pretty spicy. The last couple weeks I've been taking an extra minute or minute and a half rest between sets. This week I did not until the last set when my calf started cramping and I couldn't get it to stop for like 8min. Don't worry, the last 1200m was still very difficult despite the rest.

B2. Top to top DB alternating Z-press from straight leg seated 10 reps (5/side) x4, rest 1 min

3 sets, each as fast as possible:
20 Cal Bike
10 bar facing burpees
10 strict hspu
rest 3 min bw sets
Set 1) 2:58 - 320 W on the Echo bike, right into the bfb, 3/3/2/2 on the sHSPU

Set 3) 3:25 - 350 W on the Echo, 2/4/2/1/1 on the sHSPU

The first 2-4 sSHPU were very difficult, the next 4 or so felt significantly better, and the last 2 were nearly impossible
